Some moms say it with a Hallmark card, but Courtney Love addressed her estranged daughter's 18th birthday via Twitter, in a nonstop series of tweets that were both anguished and bitter.

Love began her hours-long plea by urging Frances Bean Cobain to flee the court-appointed guardianship of her late father Kurt Cobain's mother Wendy and sister Kimberly.

"i have prayed youd get mad at them not run to them," Love wrote, adding that her deceased husband despised his mother. "i love you but your 18 now do NOT allow any guardianship to continue whatsoever! theyll lie to you tell you it has to,. no it doesnt!"

The singer was mostly concerned about Frances' finances, and the trust fund she just inherited. "for gods sake now that your of age run like hell," Love wrote, then alluded that Frances was being swindled by lawyers. "they have to give you by law 30k a mionth no matter what not 15k seen your legal bills?"

Though Love - who is no stranger to Twitter tirades - accused Frances of ruining her life through her actions, she ultimately wants her daughter back in her arms.

"i long for your kiss and your sweet head smell i long for you i ache for you, i die for you every day my heart breaks for you," she wrote. "just come home,. it took a year but i got the sickest townhouse in the village, theres 4 floors, just come home, i pray to god snap out of it."

She may have played the "tortured artist" role to death (almost literally, as did Kurt), but can't we let her reconcile with her daughter as she sees fit. If her daughter rejects her offer to live in her "mad townhouse", maybe it will show both Courtney and the world that Frances is an adult who can make her own decisions. I am always concerned about family court decisions that make a parent a pariah. As crazy as Courtney seems, there are times when family should be kept intact, or at least on civil terms with one another. It might do both parties some good for tem to be in contact other than thru twitter, as it posts your thoughs to the world, and this might need some private exchanges to deal with issues.

Just read all the comments and wow people are really full of hate . I agree with the person above me mind your buisness . You are not in their life to make such rude remarks. Its kinda sad actually and I hope Courtney and her daughter one day settle all this <3

I think people should just leave them alone. I mean, it's Frances' life, and she'll do what she wants to do with it. And all you "die hard Nirvana fans" Kurt HATED people who said stuff about his wife like that. He would appreciate it if you left his family alone. He would like to have been known as a songwriter, not a stupid god.
And yes, Courtney's life may be messed up, but that doesn't mean you have the right to make her feel worse about it, all you idiot people who lie on a couch reading Vanity Fair all day. And Frances wouldn't like you to talk about her parents that way.
GET A LIFE AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

I'm so glad that you are such close, personal friends with this family. And judging from all the stupid things Courtney Love does, I think she would like for us to mind her business as well as our own.

I've never really been a fan of neither Nirvana or Courtney Love, but I've always felt sorry for her and Kurt. It's tragic that she is estranged from her daughter, considering that Courtney was estranged from her family at a young age as well. Let's hope Frances breaks this awful cycle.

That's pretty sad......pleading via twitter ?? To lose custody the way she did is very sad.Courtney was a drug addict,Kurt committed suicide....the poor kid.Thank goodness she had his family to help raise her. Hopefully mother & daughter can reunite in a healthy way....Peace....

these are quick posts, people just type them on the fly, no one really cares that much about that stuff, you need to get with the game. If you cant think of anything interesting/funny to post, then dont be the fun police. I feel bad for your mate, you must be a real pain.

heh, she has NEVER had Frances's best interests at heart. Only her own. She is money hungry, and that is the ONLY reason she wants her to move back home. Luckily Frances is supposed to be starting college this fall in N.Y. Cant remember the name of the University but it's Ivy League-ish. How could ANYone live with that drama mama and keep their sanity? Frances has done a remarkable job maintaining hers, I'd say.

Ahh the backlash of the whiney 90's. Better late than never. Besides, nothing gets the point across like the situation Courtney and Francis are in. Congratulations, Courtney. You are a mother to one just like yourself. How does it feel?

Bi-otch... be a good parent for once and leave her alone. You're lucky she's not more f'ed up because of your lousy @$$. I have mad respect for Kurt's talent, but he was an f'ed up mess too, so by telling everyone how much he hated his mother probably means she's the only normal, mentally stable person in your daughter's life. Leave her alone and go away. If you really loved her, you would.

Seriously Courtney, lay off the drugs. The world is sooo sick of your antics and tyrades... It's sickening. Your daughter is an adult now, and if she should run from anyone, she should be fleeing from you...

You guys are the morons, I said it should be Kirk, only a moronic mother names here kid Kurt. Thats like spelling Tom with a U or something stupid. Get your facts straight, most of you are just repeating what the last person said. If you cant add anything new (good or bad) to the post then rub one out while you think of your hero KURT.
